Spartan Symbol T-Shirt by archaeologyart.

 
The letter lambda, standing for Laconia or Lacedaemon, which was painted on the Spartans’ shields, was first adopted in 420s BC and quickly became a widely known Spartan symbol. The powerful city-state of Sparta used this symbol on their shields and banners back in the day of Ancient Greece, as the Greeks did not identify themselves with flags in this time.
